With a strong focus on health and wellness in recent times, more and more people are looking for safe and effective alternatives to traditional pharmaceutical medication. These days, consumers are turning to cannabidiol (CBD) for relief from pain, anxiety, and sleep disorders, among others. However, misinformation around CBD and its uses persist, and experts warn that we need to understand CBD to help overcome the stigma associated with it.<\/p>\n

According to Pharmacist and Certified Holistic Cannabis Practioner Sean Willard, research on the efficacy of CBD oil for pain relief has seen incredibly positive results, despite an initial lack of studies to support the benefits of CBD oils. \u201cCBD has been found to assist in the relief of a wide variety of health issues and symptoms. Pain and inflammation is one such area.\u201d<\/p>\n

The basics of CBD Oil<\/h3>\n

While CBD is derived from the cannabis plant, it differs from the other popular cannabinoid Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Unlike CBD, which has shown to have health and wellness benefits, THC is typically used more recreationally due to the euphoric \u2018high\u2019 effect it produces. CBD does not give users the \u2018high\u2019 THC is known for, but it does put you in a need state.<\/p>\n

To set the record straight on what CBD oil is, Willard reminds us that it has no affiliation with cannabis oil. \u201cCBD oil or \u2018tincture\u2019 is produced by mixing a CBD extract from a cannabis plant into a base. The oil is then held under the tongue for 60-90 seconds as it provides faster absorption. As such, CBD oil boasts a longer duration of action, which many people prefer.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, how can CBD help with pain relief?<\/h3>\n

Willard explains, \u201cThe human body has an endocannabinoid system (ECS) that receives and translates signals from cannabinoids of its own, which are called endocannabinoids. The ECS helps to regulate functions such as sleep, immune-system responses, and pain.\u201d<\/p>\n

By supplementing with additional cannabinoids like CBD oils, the body\u2019s own system will regulate those receptors. This makes CBD oil one of the best supplements for not only building immunity but also pain relief and better quality of sleep, among other benefits.<\/p>\n

What kind of pain are we talking about?<\/h3>\n

So, what kind of pain does CBD treat? \u201cYou\u2019ll be glad to know the research on CBD products and pain management has been promising to date,\u201d says Willard.\u201c Supplementing with CBD can offer an alternative for people with chronic pain who typically rely on pharmaceutical medications, which can be habit-forming and cause other side effects.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some of the possible benefits of CBD oil for common pain-related conditions include arthritis, multiple sclerosis, chronic pain, migraines, cluster headaches and even irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and related symptoms. However, Willard emphasises the importance of using trusted CBD products and consulting with your doctor before attempting any new treatments for pain and inflammation.<\/p>\n

A trusted brand, like Rethink Daily Capsules and Oils provide three strengths, allowing consumers to choose a product that suits their current health needs. What\u2019s more, it also promotes the use of no more than 20mg of CBD per day. This allows new users to start on a lower strength first before moving up based on their personal needs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we\u2019re most excited about is that by using CBD oil, patients suffering from acute and even chronic pain will find relief without the risk of drug intoxication and dependence. With the consent of your doctor, CBD products may greatly improve your pain management results,\u201d Willard concludes.<\/p>\n
